Human variation and its influence on fracture outcomes in experimental tibial blunt trauma
Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Interpreting skeletal trauma requires understanding how fracture outcomes reflect both extrinsic loading conditions and intrinsic biological variation. However, the contribution of biological variability to fracture behavior remains poorly defined, even under controlled loading conditions.

Potential Correlation Between Bombus lantschouensis Thoracic Morphology and Flight Behavior
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Potential correlation between Bombus lantschouensis thoracic morphology and flight behavior. ABSTRACT Remarkably little modern work has investigated the thoracic structures of insects and their relationship to flight locomotion. Most studies focus exclusively on either morphology or flight kinematics.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...
